I love making people smile. It’s just something I love to do. Normally I’d give you a hug or tickle you or attempt to tell you a funny joke or outrageous story about my life, but since I can’t do that, I figured this is the next best thing…Here, 21 reasons to smile now. Why 21? Because it’s my family’s lucky number and was also my grandma Carol’s lucky number and I’ve been thinking about her a lot lately! Grandma, this one is for you <3

1. iced coffee season!

2. spring-y dresses

3. wine & cheese…outside on the porch

4. it’s that time…you know the time of the season for loving

5. flip-flop weather…a gal can never own too many flip-flops!

6. little colorful surprise post-it notes left on your desk, mirror or lunch box

7. lots of upcoming wine & food fests like the Spring Wine Fest this weekend

8. SoWa Open Market starts this weekend & so do lotso’ local Farmer’s markets (helllooo fresh veggies)

9. having a lucky streak & believing it was fate

10. waking up to birds chirping ‘n’ sunlight

11. ending a long, stressful day with a soothing yoga class (and then forgetting you even had a long, stressful day in the first place)

12. pink / purple / orange / bright green pedicures!

13. picnics with cute little homemade eats & checkered napkins

14. walks in the park…holding hands with your lovah

15. “taste-testing” five kinds of gelato before you decide on simply classic chocolate

16. living in your aviators…even if they are ugly

17. running to deep, thought-provoking songs like this one or this one (especially when going up hill…thanks for the new tunes sis!)

18. finding the beauty in anything ‘n’ everything

19. that feeling you get when a special someone look at you that certain way

20. that when you weather.com your city, snow is no longer in the weekly forecast (knock on wood)

21. knowing that even when those we love are no longer physically with us, they are always, ALWAYS in our hearts.

What’s got you grinning from ear to ear lately?

XoXo,
